Just part of the process. Johnson... I mean Cummings, had until the end of September to withdraw their threat of reneging on the withdrawal agreement and therefore breaking international law. He failed to do so and so we get the warning that the EU will respond accordingly. Johnson immediately responded himself and called Ursula Von Der Leyen. They have booked a telephone meeting for Saturday afternoon. It's all pretty standard stuff at this stage with continued posturing on both sides. It was reported a few days ago that the UK had offered some more concessions on fishing rights but they were rejected by Brussels as being too little. I am sure behind the scenes there are all sorts of "negotiating" going on that is not made public. Let's see where we are when crunch time comes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s a hollow threat borne out of exasperation over the UK’s tactics. As the European Union launches legal proceedings against the UK over its stated intention to breach the agreement, in reality the bullies of Brussels are simply trying to pile on the pressure until a deal is finalized or we leave without one. Hollow threats are a go-to weapon in the EU arsenal. Because it looks like a deal of some description will happen after all the ill humor of 2020. Despite sticking points, behind-the-scenes briefings and a broad disagreement about how to approach an agreement, this latest move is really just for show. The legal procedure the Commission has flagged up takes a notoriously long time to achieve anything, and will join the other 800 infringement procedures already open on the EU books. Read more ‘The deadline lapsed yesterday’: EU launches legal action against UK over ‘problematic’ Brexit bill Sure, it sounds good with European Commission President Urusula von der Leyen standing at the podium before the world’s press to have a crack at the British government as the UK nears the inevitable Brexit transition period deadline of December 31. But it’s a token gesture. The UK has been here already this year, with legal action launched by the EU against it for ignoring freedom of movement rules during the Brexit transition period and a decision announced by the European Court of Justice for handing city traders what was determined to be an illegal tax break, to which Brussels objected. Then there was the action against the UK last year prompted by the refusal to appoint a commissioner to the bloc of which we were about to leave. It was crazy procedural nonsense, costing lord knows how much to the taxpayer but, as you can imagine, the lawyers in Brussels just love this stuff. Oooooh, money, money, money! Dealing with the EU, even from inside the club, is like a neverending boxing match. It’s about assessing your opponent’s strengths and weaknesses. Feinting and parrying. Using clever footwork. Playing rope-a-dope until either contestant is legally punched out. If you can stay on your feet, there is always a 50-50 chance of success. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is meanwhile boring on the continent and no longer an issue for headlines on the first page of the print media. First the UK doesn't know what it wants, then TMs try negotiated and rejected, then a separation contract personally signed and cheered by Boris, and now it's back again to children theater by BJ. It doesn't make sense to start all over again after so many years. The EU should just wait until the UK has a contractually reliable government again.

No. It’s like taking out a loan and then telling the bank that you will only pay half the interest rate because that’s the sovereign decision of you and your wife after realizing that 5% is too much. And when the bank tells you that it doesn’t care what you and your wife decide internally, you’re pulling out a video of two loan officers discussing what would happen in case of you defaulting and call that “bad faith”.

London now has one month now to reply to a formal letter of complaint from the Commission, which will then assess whether the answer is satisfactory and can then request that the UK falls back in line. If that fails, it can sue at the Luxembourg-based European Court of Justice. So has the EU launched legal proceedings? Is writing the letter part of the legal process? I guess so. Well and good, I say. Let's all have our day in Court. Which one though? ECJ? This interprets EU laws. UK will not be a member of the EU, and therefore not subject to EU law. How does that work then? If someone breaks a law, it is a criminal act normally, not a civil offence. How can someone be sued in a criminal court? The comedy continues. My brain hurts.

Boris will chuck it in the bin. She's heard something about us overriding one of her rules for after her transition period. She probably read in one of the TVF Euro lawyer's posts that her court can still make rules for an ex-member's sovereign borders. There's no agreement even broken yet, as it's a Bill which is still passing through Parliament. The HOC voted for it massively but the HOL will try and block it for a while. We will probably be still in the transition period when the Bill becomes UK law, but still no agreement is broken. After transition and we are fully free, when the EU does not keep to their part of the WA, our new law will override the EU's actions. Again no laws broken so the four year ECJ ruling period will be irrelevant. Boris will probably override that Clause too soon. All very Shakespearean comedy: Much ado about nothing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU will be perfectly happy with no deal because it sets an example to other countries who may toy with the idea of leaving in the future. All this over access to some fish? An industry which is insignificant to both the UK and EU's GDP. But of course it has become a totemic issue for Brexiteers because of buzzwords like sovereignty. Look on the bright side guys.

Mairead McGuinness, an Irish centre-Right MEP, is the candidate to be the EU’s financial services commissioner. If approved by the European Parliament, which is expected, she will be the City’s gatekeeper to the Single Market. The Fine Gael politician and former member of the parliament’s Brexit Steering Group, told MEPs at a hearing into her candidacy that Brussels needed answers from the UK.
